Pick Up Louis LAmours Western Tales: Trap Of Gold And Trail To Pie Town Compiled By Louis LAmour In PDF

western roadtrip. We visited L'Amour's hometown Jamestiwn, ND, and decided to listen to some of his stories,

.Formulaic, but exciting. Trail to Pie Town was a lot like other L'Amour I was familiar with, A good guy gets wrapped up in something bad, ending in a gunfight, Trap of Gold read more like a western spin on a myth/fable, The writing was fine, but definitely not high brow, However, I was entertained and enthralled, so plan to read more of his works,

Pioneer Book: book from the Westerns section
Couldn't get into it, It was an audio book so it was easy to ignore, Maybe I'll try another if his books one day, Audible Audiobook Many of Louis LAmours classic westerns are available as audiobooks, If you havent tried his novels, his Western Tales are a good starting place to get a taste of his writing style.
I prefer a good Western to Shakespeare any day, Similar to a "Fast amp Furious" movie over "Life Of Pi", Some things are simply overrated elitism, Life is messy and dangerous and in need of a fast horse/gun/car,

Yep, gunslingers saving damsels from crooked extortionists, . . and man against nature in a goldmine expedition,
One man wrote so many great stories, Amazing how a short story like trap of gold can get you thinking and thinking, Of course it is easy to think that a guy in the story shouldn't do something so dumb as to be greedy for gold when he already has plenty, and his life is at steak.
But how often in life do we keep trying to get what we don't need long after we could have been happy with what we have And what is at risk when we follow our silly whims with all our ambition Priorities change when you don't think about them logically.
Good cowboy story, not much gun fighting though! Louis L'Amour is as good at short stories as he is at epic novels! Trail to Pie Town
Dusty Barrin was barely ahead of the Hickmans, leaving Dan Hickman dead in the saloon in Harrea.
There were nine Hickmans, Madis, and three Fisk boys in Harrea, Dustys clan was back in the hills, southwest of Harrea, Time to make tracks. Dusty headed for the Alkali Basin, they wouldnt expect that, Trying to make peace in Harrea was a good idea but now the feud would be on fire.
Dusty headed for Gallow Gap, Remarkably, he came across a young girl and boy traveling in a wagon, Gallow Gap was like paradise after the basin, and there they settled, The girls father was dead but purchased a partnership with a hombre named Dick Lowe before heading west.
Dusty took the agreement and rode into Pie Town to see what was what, Dustys welcome was not very friendly

Trap of Gold
Weatherton was a prospector.
Searching the base of the mountain, finding an alluvial fan of debris that showed some color.
Working up the fan he found a large vein of quartz cobwebbed with gold, The upheaval of granite was very unstable, any disturbance could bring the whole structure down, burying the gold vein under tons of rock.
He sat staring at the granite monolith, contemplating how to remove the gold, Slowly he cut into the base of the quartz, Day after day he cut deeper, the vein getting richer as he went, The danger and anticipation got ahold of him, finding it irresistible, He knew he should quitst readHere are two exciting adventures from the pen of Louis L'Amour.
"Trap of Gold" Wetherton has been three months out of Horsehead before he finds his first color.
The gold is located at the head of a fan laying in a gigantic crack in a granite upthrust that resembles a fantastic ruin.
This crumbling granite is slashed with a vein of quartz that is literally laced with gold! The problem is that the granite upthrust is unstable, and taking out the quartz might bring the whole thing tumbling down.
"Trail to Pie Town" Dusty Barron rides his steeldust stallion at full gallop out of town.
Behind him, a man lies bleeding on the floor of a saloon, Dan Hickman had called him yellow and gone for a gun, but Dan was a mite slow.
Maybe if Emmett Fisk and Gus Mattis hadn't appeared just as he was making a break from the saloon, he could have explained himself.
But they reached for their guns when they saw him, and Dusty had hit the desert

road.
The dead man had relatives in the area, and now it looked like he was going to be facing a clan war.
Classic characters I enjoy L'Amour's novels better than the short stories,
